Hi All, The New England Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine has several grants available to support libraries that want to improve community health via programming and access to health information resources. See the message below and go to https://nnlm.gov/ner/funding to check out the "Funding Opportunities" section for details on specific grants available. Your library must be a member of the NNLM NER to apply for funding but that is easy and free to do here https://nnlm.gov/members/join .

This is a wonderful organization to work with and a great chance to provide more health-related services for your community. I encourage all Maine libraries of any type to explore NER's funding options. Good luck, Deb
